Gheecheeters Glasscoe, 27, common-law wife of John Henry, 20, whose dismembered body was found in a room occupied by the couple at 85 West 134th street Sunday morning, June 12, was indicted Friday by a New York County Grand Jury on a charge of first degree murder, following her confession to Police Captain Harry Waish of Jersey City, where she was apprehended twelve
Death
Robbery Netted Trio Only 20c
At Least That Is All Man, Who Says He Was Robbed, Lost
Twenty cents is all they got when Isidore Hellman, 40, white, a cigar merchant, 868 Broadway, and two other unknown white men are alleged to have beaten and robbed Clyde Weems, 30, 316 West 1424 street, the night of June 14. Hellman was charged with robbery and violation of Section 1897 of the Penal Law when arraigned before Magistrate McQuade in Heights Court last week. He was held without ball for the Grand Jury.
According to Weems, he was walking on West 138th street when he was dragged into a hallway at 2 West 138th street near Fifth avenue, taken to the third floor, and beaten with the butt of a revolver. His alleged assailants searched his pockets, and failing to find any money, took twenty cents and a notebook.
Hellman has a police record in Newark and Los Angeles, as well as in this city.
NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 1927 Entered as second-class matter Dec 21, 1909, at the Post Office at New York, under the Act of March 3, 1879.
J. FINLEY WILSON NAMES CLEVELAND FOR 1927 SESSION; SPLIT IMMINENT
and Despair Stalk Near Scene of We AGED COUPLE FOUND IN DYING CONDITION FROM GAS POISONING
Old age, sickness and poverty were the cause of what the police believe to be an attempted double suicide, when Mr. and Mrs. James R. Register, aged 90 and 70, respectively, were found unconscious as the result of being overcome by illuminating gas in their small room on the second floor of 215 West 134th street, Sunday afternoon about 3 o'clock. The wife died, but the husband was revived by a pulmotor.
In striking contrast to this morbid scene, a beautiful wedding ceremony was being performed at St. Philip's Episcopal Church, directly in front of the death room, and the crowds were given the unique spectacle of seeing death and despair follow closely on the crest of youth and ecstasy. Spartan Italy, in the room adjoining, the Registers' smelled gas, and he notified the landlord, Fred Dickens, at 209 West 134th street.
and he, in turn, called the police, Patrolmen Scantelevy, Branch. (Continued on Page 2.)

AMAZING MURDER CONSPIRACY REVEALED BY MAID
Prosecutor John E. Toolan of Middlesex County, New Jersey, declared yesterday (Continued on Page 2)
With the issuance of Proclamation Number 6, dated June 17, at Washington, calling the twenty-eighth Grand Lodge session of the Improved, Benevolent, Protective Order of Elks of the World to Cleveland for the year of 1927, instead of to New York, Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson has precipitated a fight between himself and New York Elks that may have far-reaching effects on the order.
News of the intended decision of the head of the order reached this city as early as last Monday night, but not until the official proclamation was received did it become definitely known that the step, which the vast majority of Elks throughout the country had thought would not be taken in the final analysis, had actually come to pass.
Mr. Wilson's proclamation, just issued, bears out the story which appeared exclusively in The Amsterdam News on April 13, in which this paper gave to the New York Elks the first intimation that they might lose the convention. Further, the prediction made at that time in The Amsterdam News, that if any other city was named for the convention it would cause a split in the order, seems now about to be fulfilled.
Was Formerly Director of Lafayette Theatre Orchestra
Marie Lucas, 38, 349 Lenox avenue, was admitted to the psychopathic ward of the Bellevue Hospital last Wednesday. Her uncle, Mr. Titelbaum, has the responsibility of her commitment.
Miss Lucas was very prominent in Harlem musical circles, and was for years director of the Lafayette orchestra. She can play several instruments of the orchestra, and is an expert arranger of music. Her health has been steadily failing for some time, her friends said. Her strange conduct began recently to attract attention, but many attributed it to her eccentricity. Excessive drinking is said to have culminated in her present condition. Before being admitted to Bellevue, her condition is said to have become violent.
Miss Lucas' nearest relative is a brother, Tony Lucas, 101 West 134th street.

SECTION ONE
But a split seems certain now and the fight will be a bitter one from this date on. Saturday night at Imperial Home the local convention committee that has been preparing for the big event in Elkdom since the Grand Lodge voted to come to New York last year in Cleveland met.
Knowledge that Cleveland would be designated was general then, though not official, and the committee voted to send members from each of the three local lodges—Monarch, Manhattan and Imperial—constituting the New York committee for the Grand Lodge session, to Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit to place their case before the Ellis of those cities. The three lodges have agreed that no attention will be paid to the on-to-Cleveland order and that they would do all that they could to influence as many other lodges throughout the com

up a Jong knife with which to pro-
tect herself and Henry rushed
against it, the knife plunging

(Continued from Page 1.) the prosecution. Another week may be required to complete the testimony.
The Government's chief witnesses were the Levy brothers, Bernard (Bud), Max and Charles, whose six Harlem gin mills were raided by the police about 200 times, it is said. Their speakeasy at 114 West 135th street has been raided city times. Bud Levy testified. The Levy brothers and their bartenders have been arrested time after time, but the brothers were never indicted, it was disclosed.
Federal Agent Edward McCann
white is also on trial, charged with
accepting a bribe of $600 from Hud
Levy, after he had agreed to "fix
the case" for $1,000, the bribe to be
divided between Harvey, Warner
and Dixon.
Arthur brings, a numbers collector for Bae Levy, employed at $75 a week, is also on trial, charged with accepting bribes of from $50 to $75 from the Levy brothers, the money to be given to the Federal agents. According to the testimony, the bribes took place during the years 1924-5-6. The transaction involving the payment of the $50 is known to have occurred on the fifth floor of the Federal Building. The usual prejudices of August Isaac of Texas, Assistant Prohibition Administrator, was responsible for the indictments of the officers it was reported.
At the trial, Attorneys Woff, Meidie, Pollock and Hallheimer, counselors for the defense, pointed out that the accused agents' activities were restricted to Brooklyn and that they had no authority to operate in New York City. When questioned on this point, Levy expressly ignorance of this fact. The defense attorneys went further to inform that Bad Levy expected to go on the liquor charges for testimony for the Government Commissioner Hartman, attorney said, dismissed twenty liquor cases against the Government. During one raid the police took 248 bottles of liquor in eight bottles of alcohol, it was disposed of the trial.
they also stressed the fact that the Levys may be subject to prosecution for failing to include their income from bootlegging in their income tax spot, thus violating the Income Tax law. With much use the attorneys asked Levy why he sought to protect himself from the Negro agents when he was then to arrest at the hands of two other prohibition agents and oversee New York police.
Agent Denny Richman testified that the beating he received at prohibition headquarters at 1 Park avenue consisted of no more than "light slaps on the face." The attorneys branded this as a false gesture on the part of McDonald to impress Briggs with the fact that Richman had been beaten to tell on him. After stating that a glass window had been broken during the fight, Richman was asked if he had been tied to a chair and given a genuine thrashing. He replied, "No."
One Agent Smith is reported, the attorneys said, to have assisted in "trapping" the colored agents for the purpose of gaining a promotion. The alleged proposal to "frame" Briggs with dope or a gun was also mentioned.
Brad Levy just insisted that his occupation was that of furrier, but

admitted that he had been selling liquor in Harlem for five years. He said he had no respect for prohibition. The Levy brothers' speakeasies were located at 603 and 441 Lenox avenue, 106 West 136th street, 120 and 114 West 135th street, and 223 Sewomh aweane.
During the many days by the police upon 124 West Chath street the following barrenders were arrested: Charles Shelton, Harry Thompson, Leo Fisher, William Stevens, Harry Payton, Joseph John, H. T. Harris, George Johnson, Henry Fry (who was fined), Samne (C) Ogdolen, Harry Holle, and one O'Niel. Johnson was fined $100 January 15, 1925, and the rest were discharged by the Commissioners, it was said. Levy is said to have been present during ten of these arrests.
Levy himself was arrested February 2; and was said to have been discharged, but U. S. Attorney Lumbard declares the case is still pending. The case was first said to have been dismissed because his direct ownership of 114 West 153th street could not be proven. According to the testimony, only about fifteen convictions were obtained following the fifty raids on No. 114. This place was sold later. Levy testified, with the knowledge that a padlock order stood against it. Levy also testified that in 1824 he tried to get Agent Hyman Kasselle, white, also under indictment, to "fix a case" with Harvey, Warner and Dixon.
U. S. Attorney Lumbard seemed to have insufficient material upon which to build a substantial case for the Government. During the examination of Max Levy the defense sought to show that he had signed the false names of Harry Cohen, Max Finkelstein and Joseph Harris to bail bonds for the release of his bartenders, thereby "constructing justice." The brother testified that he had been arrested several times for selling gin, but was signed only once-$25.
Charles Levy testified that he had averaged $100 a week from the bootlegging business, that he attended bar, and saw Federal agents make various arrests, and that Harvey, Warner and Dixon had been paid, at different times, from $50 to $75 for "protection." It was he who carried the $600 to court on the morning of the alleged bribery, which is said to have taken place before their arraignment.
Other witnesses who testified were Chester P. Mills, Prohibition Administrator; Federal Agents Mitchell C. Klevency and John J. Cronan, Nathan Abrahamson, a Government witness, and Gino Foley who testified he saw one of the agents in Long Branch, N. J.

Second Avenue Resident Held in Bail for
Hearing
Following an alleged assault upon a man and his wife in which it is alleged that he wielded a huge Odd Fellow's, sabre. Abraham James, 42, 1922 Second avenue, was held in $2,500 bail by Magistrate Ewald in Harlem Court on sunday.
Gladys Hill and her husband, James, of 1662 Third avenue, appeared in court, their arms swathed in bandages, to press the charges. Two clergymen, both of whom refused to give their names, appeared as character witnesses for James, who could not account for the alleged attack. The ministers will testify at a hearing later this week.
The Hills were visiting friends at 1735 Third avenue on June 16, they said. Upon leaving the house, they said that they passed the apartment in which James then lived. He suddenly opened the door, the couple said, and slashed them with the long sword. Mrs. Hill suffered a severe wound in the right arm which required twenty-one stitches. Her husband was badly cut in the left arm and fourteen stitches were taken in the wound.
Detective Lane of the East 104th Street Station traced James to his present address. The couple said he ran away after the alleged assault. They told the court that they had never seen or heard of him before. James admitted not knowing the Hills and could offer no explanation for the incident.

Startling in economy and absolutely harmless-even to the tender skin of a baby
A
Like stepping into a rich creamy bath. Your skin instantly feels like rare Gothic velvet
EVERY young girl and woman will be fascinated by this new beauty bath secret-a secret that comes to America from Paris. Just think:of stepping into a bath like rich cream, using your favorite soap, then stepping out and finding that your skin has a "feel" like the down on a pansy petal.
This sounds almost too good to be true—or if true, probably too expensive.
BUT IT IS TRUE—the results are immediate and the cost is insignificant. You'd never believe that such an inexpensive beauty bath could produce such instant, enriching results.
Merely dissolve two or more handfuls of Linit in the bath bathe in the usual way, step out and dry off—and then feel your
Startling in ecology absolutely harm to the tender skin
The fact that LINIT is sold by all grocers as a high class laundry starch and is also recommended for use as a remarkable beauty bath, may seem rather fat-fetched to some women—however, the statements made above are not mere claims but are backed by leading chemists and dermatologists, and the use of LINIT as a beauty bath is a common practice among fashionable women and cinema stars.
Regardless of all this—you are the judge of whether a LINIT bath will give the results as stated above. LINIT is so economical that at least you should give it a trial. Let the results speak for themselves.
Merely ask your grocer for a package of LINIT and follow the above suggestions
skin-soft and satiny smooth! This soft satiny "finish" comes from a thin coating of Linit left on the skin which is invisible to the naked eve.
Makes Powder unnecessary
EVERY woman is aware that she uses too much powder and that when she does, her pores often become clogged and blackheads may form. Linit leaves just the right amount of powder on the skin without clogging the pores. You will notice that Linit adheres well-never comes
off on the clothing - eliminates shine on the face and absorbs perspiration.
X
Linit,when added to the bath produces a creamy "feel" to the water which makes it less irritating in cases of certain skin diseases.
Results Are Immediate
THE outstanding attraction of a Linit Bath is the fact that the results are immediate. You need not wait weeks for some sign of improvement in your skin-simply swish two or more handfuls of Linit into your tub, bathe, and immediately you sense an entirely different, supple softness in your skin.
Why Linit is perfect for bathing
SKIN is like a fine fabric. Fine, gritless preparations should be used that are free from hard mineral particles. Starch from corn, the main ingredient of Linit, is such a preparation harmless and pure, and being a vegetable product it contains no mineral properties to irritate the skin. Dermatologists and doctors regard its purity so highly that they generally recommend it for the tender skin of young babies.
Arrest Three Men and Woman in Apartment in West 128th Street
John Anderson Known to Police as "Three-Card Monte, Also Taken and Held Without Bail for Trial in Special Sessions
The arrest of three men and one woman, charged with violation of the Harrison Narcotic Act, rewarded detectives of the Narcotic Squad in their efforts to crush the narcotic evil in Harlem, last week. An alleged opium den was raided in an apartment at 129 West 128th street last Wednesday. The doors and windows were shuttered and barred to prevent the dope fumes from escaping and disclosing its location to the police, it is said.

Detective Christ of the Narcotic Squad trailed George Bronson, 28, elevator operator, 2447 Eighth avenue, to his home, where a hypodermic needle, used to inject cocaine and similar drugs, was found in his possession; the detective said. He was arraigned in Heights Court, Wednesday, before Magistrate McQuade, who held him in $500 ball for Special Sessions, charged with violating the Narcotic Act.
When the alleged opium den was raided by Detectives Christ and Schumacher, they arrested George Brown, 28, a chauffeur, and Miss Dorothy Walton, 26, both of whom were previously convicted for violation of the Narcotic Act, police records show. A complete opium outfit, including humps and pipes, and a quantity of powder, which Brown is said to have admitted was opium, were found in the apartment. Chafes and two small tables and folding cots were part of the scant furnishings of the apartment, and the air was heavy with the fumes of the dust the detectives said.
John Anderson, 52, well known to the police as "Three-Card Monet" was arrested Thursday in the sunway station at Lenox avenue and 125th street by Detective Seumacher, who had been watching him for some time and waiting to "get the goods" on him. Believing that he had "ducked the hope," Anderson had been living
in excision at 290 West 142d street.
Anderson was held without bail for trial in Special Sessions, when arraigned before Magistrate McQuade in Heights Court Thursday.
Brown's police record reveals that he served four months in the Workhouse in 1916, and was fined $50 in 1925, on charges of possessing drugs.
Dorothy Walton, in 1923, was sent to the Workhouse for 166 days, convicted of unlawful soliciting; in 1926 she went to the Workhouse for possession of drugs, and in 1927 she was residenced on Blackwell's Island for petty larceny.
Anderson's record shows a life of crime, beginning with two felonies in 1901 and 1910. Use of drugs and gambling are included in the string of minor offenses that lead up to his title of "Three-Card Monte."

RAID
Driver Freed in Death of White Woman
NEWARK, June 20.—A verdict of not guilty was returned by a jury Thursday afternoon in the trial of Alfred Garrett on an indictment charging manslaughter. Mrs. Elizabeth McArdle, 72, white, was struck and fatally injured by a truck driven by Garrett February 25 last. Garrett is said to have been looking behind him when his slow-moving truck struck the aged woman, according to state witnesses.
Garrett testified that he glanced back before stopping his truck to look for a parking place at the store where he is employed. As he looked back, he said, Mrs. McArdle must have stepped from the curb in the path of the truck. The defense counsel urged that Mrs. McArdle had no right to cross the street at that point, as there was no crosswalk there.

Edward Jenkins, 44, 108 West 142d street. was arraigned in Heights Court last Wednesday on a charge of disorderly conduct and violation of the Sullivan law, before Magistrate McQuade, who held him in an aggregate bail of $1,500 for further examination. Lenore Nevins, 208 West 141st street, testified that Jenkins became frate when she served a summons on him because he had been annoying her with his amorous attention, which she rejected. She appeared in court with her head bandaged.
Miss Nevins said that upon entering the hallway of her home, Jenkins stepped from the shadows and struck her with a sandbag. Her screams attracted the attention of Detective Winterhalter, who was patrolling the vicinity.

Jenkins is said to have had in his possession a blackjack in addition to the sandbag.

Corcoran said that he had warned Brook against sweeping rubbish into the street at Fifth avenue and 133d street. The inspector said that Brook abused him for remonstrating regarding the violation. Corcoran called Policeman Talbot of the East 126th Street Station and ordered Brooks' arrest.

Amsterdam News to Co-operate With Agencies Raising Fund

As a result of the difficulties experienced by social agencies in their efforts to place colored children in camps last year, a wide interest has been created in the problem. A special committee of the Welfare Council of New York estimated that less than 1,200 colored mothers and children were provided for last summer and many of the big organizations admit that they are taking less, rather than more children each year.

away, where he first secured employment, he decided that it would be better to move into the city. Then this family of eleven established their residence in a two-room apartment at the above address. Only two beds were available. Seven of the children slept on pallets made on the floor.
It happens that Cynthia, one of the smaller children, developed pneumonia, which was quickly transmitted to the other children of the family because of the crowded conditions and the inability to secure the proper amount of food for the children.
The father was employed as a laborer doing subway construction work, but was forced to give up this work because of an injury which he received early in January. Five of these children, Cynthia, George, Helen, Luther and Trospier, should be sent to a Fresh Air camp for the Summer.

STILETTO DUELISTS
WITHDRAW CHARGES
Counter charges of felonious assault were dismissed in Harlem Court by Magistrate Goodman when two men who had engaged in a stifleto duel refused to press the charges against each other.

TRENTON, N. J., June 20.—Supreme Court Justice Parker last week dismissed a demurrier filed by the Board of Education of Berkeley Township, Ocean County, to a mandamus suit instituted by John F. Raison, whose son, with other children, was segregated. The board was allowed until July 1 to file a valid defense. If this is not done, a peremptory writ will be granted to compel admittance of the boys to classes with white children. Menetime the case has been laid before State Education Commissioner Loran.
"Where a child of school age," said the Court, "is excluded from the public schools solely on the ground of color, and it is not a question of the particular school to which he is assigned as a mere matter of convenience, it is not necessary to assert his rights in the first instance through the proceeding provided by the school, but resort may be had at once to mandamus."
N. Y. CENTRAL HACK
STAND STILL IN NEWS
A police crusade at the . New York Central railroad station at 125th street and Park avenue, following complaints from passengers who charged that taxi drivers molested them, netted a dozen chauffeurs who were summoned to Harlem Court on Monday. Among them were Oscar Jackson 31, 396 Courtlandt avenue, Bronx; William Scott, 40, 160 West 141st street; Thadius A. Dyke, 32, 47 West 129th street; Arthur Bunn, 40, 2231 Fifth avenue, and Patrick Thomas, 52, 205 West 141st street. The others were white. All were named $5 by Magistrate Ewald.
NEW-BORN INFANT
FOUND IN SUBWAY
When James Burns, the porter in the Lenox avenue and 133th street subway station, entered the ladies' rest room Friday morning he observed a shopping bag on the shelf. Upon investigation he found, well wrapped in clothes and newspaper, an infant, believed to have been born the night before. When Dr. Garafola was summoned from Harlem Hospital he said the child probably died from suffocation. Policeman Veriot of the West 133th street station reported the case, and Detective Winterhalter was assigned to make an investigation.
which he has a list, and against which he complained a few days ago, still running. "We have proof that in some cases drinking places have been supplied with whiskey shortly after they were raided and their first supply confiscated. We are determined that these places must close for the protection of our people and the general public," said fluntley. "As I said on my first and former call here, much of the patronage of these dives is by white people. It is no good to raid these places without taking some measures to prevent their resuming business as soon as the police leave the scene. I hold affidavits to substantiate my charges against each of the places on my list of places."
Asked if he had presented the matter to the prosecutor. Huntley said he had deferred action in that direction, believing that he should first take it up with the head of the police department.

Welfare Association Asks That 750 Joints Be
ATLANTIC CITY. June 18.—North Side residents who are determined to break up vicious conditions in their section made a call today upon Commissioner Cuthbert and asked co-operation of the police force. The delegation was headed by Raymond Robinson, president of the North Side Welfare Association. Edward Huntley, who is a prime mover in the campaign, acting as spokesman, informed Commissioner Cuthbert that the welfare association finds conditions in a deplorable state and likely to affect the morals and health of the youths of the city. Gambling houses, speakcasies, places of prostitution and narcotic drug selling are in full operation, it is stated, despite a few recent and somewhat spectacular raids conducted by the police. Several "number" bankers have been reaping a harvest, it was said.
The spokesman said that many places raided resumed operation a few minutes after the officers left and continued to run unmolested. According to him also, there are 750 dives, large and small, of

For years I have tried everything to remove blackheads, pimples, muddiness, liver patches, bumps and blotches, which have marred my beauty and hindered my pleasures in social life, but without results. One day a friend who had just returned from abroad gave me a jar of this wonderful secret which she discovered in Paris. I tried it — the results were amazing — I could not believe my eyes—after a few treatments blackheads, pimples, muddiness, liver patches, bumps and blotches disappeared as if by magic. It restored my youthful freshness and brought out a clear, smooth, beautiful complexion.

Score Conditions in Mississippi Valley
A mass meeting of protest against holding the Negro in the flood district of Mississippi a veritable slave was held at Abyssinian Baptist Church, 138th street and Seventh avenue, Sunday afternoon. The meeting was held under the auspices of the local branch of the American Negro Labor Congress. Attorney William L. Patterson, chairman of the meeting, said in part:
"The Constitution of the United States provides that no person can be prevented from going wherever he sees fit. But here we have the State Militia in Mississippi holding Negroes in relief camps against their will. The Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution were passed primarily to give the Negro freedom of thought and action. Now one cent has been expended to enforce these amendments. On the other hand, the Federal oGovernment has spent millions of dollars and called out the navy to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment, which prescribes against giving freedom of thought and action to all citizens."
Lovett Fort-Whiteman, leading spirit of the American Negro Labor Congress, came to New York to tell of its aims and objects. It was he who traveled through Russia in 1924 and held a convention of the organization at Chicago in October, 1925.
Other speakers on the program were: Cornelius Jackman of the Negro Foreign-Born Citizens Alliance, Inc.; Pat Devine of the international Labor Defense; Roy Lancaster of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters; Abe Harris of the Messenger; Prof. Scott Nearman, author, economist and lecturer, and Richard B. Moore, national organizer, American Negro Labor Congress. Speakers from other organizations were invited.

Temples Planning for Convention
Temples Planning for Convention
Undaunted by Wrangles Going on Among Male Branch
Members of the temples, the female branch of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. are going along seriously with their plans to entertain the daughter Elks in this city for the twenty-fifth silver jubilee—session of the grand temple in August. The air of uncertainty that has characterized the actions of the male branch of the order seemingly has not affected the women in their plans.
At the last meeting of the grand lodge temple committee, of which Mrs. Ethel Frusier is chairman, the committee voted to hold the silver jubilee reception on the night of Thursday, August 25, at the Renaissance Casino. In addition, they are planning a pageant for Wednesday, August 24, commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the female branch of the I. B. P. O. E. of W.
It can be reliably stated that Mrs. Ella Berry, daughter ruler of the temples, and her entire staff are making preparations to come to New York and they are not concerned with any other possible convention city. The women's sessions will be held at Mt. Oliver Baptist Church, 120th street and Lansoy avenue.

1,500 Former Pupils Honor Prof. Sprott
At a reception at the Renaissance Casino last Monday night over 1,500 former pupils and friends paid a glowing tribute to Prof. William Sprott, the retired schoolmaster, of St. Kitts, B. W. I., who is here in America as a guest of his former pupils.
Dr. E. Elliott Rawlins paid a tribute to the honored schoolmaster as a teacher and a moulder of character and personality.
Edgar M. Grey introduced George Harris, a formar Alderman, as one of the few politicians who cements in every possible way the foreign Negro and the native American Negro. Mr. Harris, in behalf of the Americans, welcomed the visiting teacher to New York City. Mr. Sprott, who is 71 years old, with a remarkably youthful physique and agile mentality, gave a wonderful tribute to America for its opportunity and its help to the foreign-born Negroes who have come to its shores.

Rest for Tired Feet
Daily bathing of the feet is ai:
Ways very important, not because
we are beginning to have hot
weather, but for the condition of
jtRe feet and the general daintiness
of your person. The soles of the
feet and the palms of the hands
have perspiratory glands in great-
er number than any other parts of
the body and consequently should
|de washed very often.
|, It your feet perspire excessively,
jbathe them in warm water with a
tue burnt alum fn the water and
‘dust them with boracic acid pow-
‘der. A good lotion for tired feet
is made of equal parts of witch-
hazel znd alcohol. but nothing is
more restful and soothing than hot
water.
It may seem strange to write
about feet in a beauty column, bu:
it fs a known fact that tired and
aching fcet certainly do register
Promtnently upon one's counte-
nance. When troubled with bad
feet it is most natutal that one is
disagreeable, and disagreeableness
is beauty’s worst enemy, so don't
mar your beauty with troublesome
fect,» |
Again, I might say that it is
strange. but most people do not |
know how to rest tired feet. First '
of all, take off your shoes and
s*ackinss. put on thinner hose and
slippers, then lie, face down, and
place a pillow under the instep of
the feet (so there ts good phrsi-
oligcal reason for the “tired bus-
inessman” who puts his feet up on
his desk). Massaging or rubblag
the feet with a firm upward move-
ment using a little alcohol or vin-
egar is also restful,

Langford Says He Had to Go to Court to Get Money Given Him by Public
Langford Says He Had to Go to Court to Get Money Given Him by Public
And Rises to Ask the World Just What He Could do With Seventy-five Dollars Parcelled Out to Him by Committee — Raps Muldoon, Who Voted Against Wills Meeting Dempsey
When the Sam Langford benefit was staged in this city at the old Commonwealth Sport Club, the Amsterdam News, in co-operation with Alvin Moses, gave freely of its space. Friends for many years, Moses, sporting editor of the New York News, and the writer, sporting editor of the Amsterdam News, exchanged freely the enthusiasm, tinged with the hope that the Langford benefit would be a success.
Moses refused to take his seat at the ringside the night of the benefit until the arrival of the sporting editor of the Amsterdam News, and on numberless occasions has shown the warmest and most kindly and sincere friendship for the old "Deem" which is reciprocated in full. We do not remember how much or how little the other papers published in this community for Negroes did in behalf of the benefit, but when the spokesman of the night, thrilled by the gathering at the Commonwealth, got up and praised the white newspapers for what they did, without any mention of the Negro papers in the community, we felt that an injustice had been done, as we knew that we had gone out of our way to help the benefit.
TEN
Proof of this is contained in a kindly tribute by the same Alvin Moses and in the same New York News to this writer. Then came the New York News, speaking editorially, and hinted that not one of the local papers did anything to help Langford. We had nothing to say at the time, giving space to an article from the pen of our special writer, Mr. Edgar M. Grey. Mr. Grey voled our opinion and the opinion of scores attendant on the bouts staged for the benefit of Langford.
We knew that we, like Harry (Wills, had done our share and not having political aspirations, did not feel that it was necessary for us to keep on reminding our readers of the importance of the behalf of Langford was done because we considered it our duty so to do. Certain others tried to hog it. They tried to make the world believe that without them "poor old Tham" could not be taken care of. Like the late Alda Overton Walker used to sing in that's simply "smiled, then smiled some more" and voted these same people aoke.
Now along comes the same San Langton in an open letter to the Pittsburgh Courter which proves better than anything we can say that he is far from being pleased with the way things turned out. The man for whom these people were born has long come to the fore and gone on record with one of the most sensational communications that ever found its way into the offices of a newspaper, after such an important event as took place for the almost illud gladiator. In the Pittsburgh Courter of last week Langton has made charges against those closely connected with the benefit which we feel calls for an immediate reply. He told the center dollar a month set aside for him by the committee of the benefit, and also takes a slam at Boxing Commissioner Mildloe, among many other charges.

EDWARDS NOT SUSPENDED.
Phil Edwards, famous South American flier, and a student at New York University, was not suspended from school. Rumor appearing in the New York dailies to the effect that Edwards had been laid off from school are not true.
No longer than Sunday this young man established a new world's record, as will be seen in another column of today's Amsterdam News. No later than last week he was given his letter at the university. Investigation has established the fact that Edwards was also given relief from the school for three weeks. He stands high in his studies, and is a favorite at the big New York institution of learning.
PHIL EDWARDS BREAKS RECORD
GLEN PARK, Yonkers, June 18
—Henry H. Cumming, Jr., wearing
the colors of the Newark A. C.
sped to the greatest triumph of his
young career and defeated Jackson
Scholz, 200-meter Olympic champion,
in the furlong final, in the
smashing time of 0:21 15 at
the Met. A. A. A. championships
here yesterday. But a half-foot
separated Cumming and Scholz at
the finish. The victory gave the
Newark star a surge position on the
Metropolitan team that will journey
to Lincoln. Neb., for the National
A. A. U. track and field championships next month.
Beside Cumming's new mark,
three other records were shattered.
Phi. Edwards, N. Y. U. track-
ster, broke the N.Y. U. high
mile when he beat Eddie Sturne
and George Leesness, the time of 1 minute 55 seconds, 1.25
seconds better than the mark made
by Harry Glassing, in 1999.
After Willie Ritola had been forced to retire at the end of four miles because of a stitch, Ove Anderson of Finland broke the record in the six-mile race, covering the distance in 31:35, 27:45 seconds faster than the previous mark.
The fourth record-breaker was Nat Kanrich, U. of P. field star, who heaved the discs 111 foot 2 inches, as compared in 140 feet 83 inches made by R. G. Walker in 1920. The New York Athletic Club capped the team title again.
The Eureka Tennis Club Will Be Resurrected
After some years of inactivity the Eureka Tennis Club of this village has been reorganized and now has a strong team of championship calibre and is arranging for matches with other metropolitan clubs. The Eureka Tennis Club, at one time the most prominent club on Long Island, dates back to 1914, when it was originally organized. Among the charter members of the original Eureka Tennis Club who are still competing members today are: Messrs. William Carman, Chaucey Brewster, George H. Beauclair and John H. Meyers.
N. Y. BRAVES PLAY
FAST. SEMI-PROB
On account of weather and
other engagements they
braves have been unable to play
on their home grounds. The
players are made up of
measures and will exhibit their
masters playing on Sunday in their first
game abroad. It may not be until
the next season they will
participate in city games.
THE REFLECTOR
THE organization of a Sports Writer" Association is perhaps at present the most vital need of colored newspapers. Such an association could provide for the most extensive athletic events, also greater preaching for race papers throughout the East, Midwest, and South pages, and secure closer cooperation between promoters and newspapers.
recourses, any number of important athletic events have been unattestified factories of recent writers despite the fact that they were destroys of having certain incidents in the past because they were unable themselves to be present in eastern sports writers' association would go far toward remedying this situation. Eastern sports writers' association would go far toward remedying this situation. The greatly improved sports pages. With such an association organized and funded, the association could witness the important sporting events in the eastern territory and in the metrocograph a number of copies and mail one to each member paper. In the metrocograph a number of points in the events or the promoters themselves should be done away with. In the country is appreciative of any effort a school or college might make to these these resections, the various "big games" in which they participate, but in most cases from which they come. There have been, but not intentionally—to favor the sources of our leading colleges has been so written almost to give the impressions of our leading colleges team was the only one playing. An organization such as a sports writers' association would serve to have these covers covered from a neutral angle.
Closer contact with activities is the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association with the organization of an collegiate Athletic Association could be afforded with the organization of an athletic paper is handicapped because there is no C. L. A. A. member institution closer to paper sufferers in not being able to give that association the publicity it deserves. To this effect, the class in just that same possession where the C. L. A. A. is concerned. With these handicaps would be largely the benefit, the benefit would be mutual and these handicaps would be larger.
Mixed sporting events where Negroes participate could be handled with great accuracy. No longer should a reporter be forced to depend on the white ball or cover or facts to establish a basis for his story. Whereas at present one reads that a reporter does so as to be able to write the accounts of these mixed events as simply as possible, the representative of such an association as I have outlined could and send out original and accurate accounts independent of the dailies. Among the numerous other benefits that such an organization would offer are: (1) More brotherly contact between sports editors and correspondents, (2) the ability to send better press accommodations at the various events, and (3) opportunity for concentrated attack upon inquiries when such attacks are warranted.
News of the Battlers
LEMUEL SALMON, pretty Walter Weight Simon Pure of the Salem Crescent, who has been piling in a great KO record among the men of his class who do their stuff for medals and the like, scored another in-positive victory at the Riddy-Wood Grove Sporting Club, Brooklyn, last Wednesday evening when he scored a technical knockout over George Nelson of the Trinity Club, the runner-up in the State championships, in the second round of their special three-round engagement. The end came after two minutes and 15 seconds of batting in the second frame, when the referee stopped the proceedings to save Nelson from further punishment.
LARRY HOGAN, a 109-pounder of the Salem-Crescent Club, has a close deal to Joe Hamlon, national title holder in that class, in a special book staged by the President Athlete Club of Brooklyn at its first outdoor amateur intercollyard boxing show at the Bay Ridge field last Wednesday night. In a meeting with the Boxer, Hogan winning the first round by a three-point win of boxing. However, the Trinity boxer came into his own in the second, slowed him up to a walk in the final, and Joe breezed home. The latter tried for a knockout in the third and last session, but Larry was a bit wise to his opponent and kept his jaw well guarded.
BOB LAWSON, stalemate of Theoheson (Tiger) Flowers, has been matched to box Beaert Wright ten times. The weight is the big fellow from Onahla. Noh, who has been challenging George Godfrey to make him for the box Beaert Wright, wouldn't make much of a match for him, and probably would have to be a big fellow. George, like the rest of the big fellows, believes in doing his out for BUCKS. Bob ought to make Beaert Wright about 25 pounds. The bigger they come, the harder they fall, is Bob's idea of his coming tilt.
SAILOR DARDEN, who has been boxing so long that he himself can't remember when he started, took a big fight at Brooklyn in one of the TENES staked at Dexter Park Monday evening, June 13. GOLDIE hit the SATTER in his corner, but couldn't budge him. Darden tried to bring over a hay-maker in the ring, but the only session he had taken the power out of his mitts. Goldie weighed 156, with the left ring in the middle, left the ring with his left eye shut tight it looked as if blasting would be the only way to open it again.
HARRY SCOTT, formerly of Jamal, co. L.L., who now resides in Harlem, added another victim to his ready long list by outpointing Al Matern, his East Side rival, at the Ridgewood Grove Sporting Club in Brooklyn last Saturday night. Harry raised havoc in the armories and apparently is on the way to success in the licensed club. He is a junior lightweight.
THE Harry Wills-Paolino Uzcudun Battle, under the direction of Humbert J. Fugazy, is practically assured. This fact became known last week when the Massachusetts Athletic Commission lifted the ban on the woodchopper, the only remaining obstacle in the way of the scrap. The local DUKES recently O. K.d. the match, providing the Basque's suspension in the Down Manhata State was lifted. Tax Blackwell, a few weeks ago, after the DUKES issued their ultimatum, threatened to take the case to court, claiming he had the foreigner signed to a band of contracts, but it seems that Paullin's Board of Strategy was willing, with the aid of Fugazy, and Tex backed out or his threat died a natural death. The band

PLAINFIELD SET FOR MATCHES
NEWARK, N. J.—Next Saturday and Sunday, June 25 and 26, will mark the first important tennis fixtures of the 1927 season. The Cockburn Trophy matches between representatives of the State Tennis Associations of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania is the winner to the tennis lovers. This will be the second year of this competition, the team having been won by the New Yorkers in 1925. This is the first year that the Pennsylvaniaians have entered a team.

The winner of a majority matches (the winner of a majority Play will be in all classes—males' women', junior singles, doubles and mixed doubles.

Kenneth Worde, New Jersey and New England champion; Dr. A. one Philadelphia's best, will be selected. The women players will possibly be headed by such a formidable contiguit as Miss Laura V. Junior of Philadelphia; Mrs. Leonard, Mrs. Alston, Mrs. Conick of New York; Miss Marcelus, Mrs. Thornhill and Mrs. Sadder of New Jersey.
The play will be on the courts of the Plainfield Tennis Club, Hill Street, near North Third street, Plainfield N.J. J. grandstand seating over 300 people will be able to accommodate the spectators.

Special trains will be available from the Plainfield railroad station from suburban points the Union car to Summer avenue, walking over two blocks to North Third street and then one block to the left to the courts.
Motorists from New York have the choice of two excellent routes, any route to Newark and thence by way of Springfield avenue, Newark, through Irvington, Springfield, South Ipswich, Plainfield, or South Brook street, or to Westfield avenue, through Roselle, Cranford, Westfield to Plainfield.
Motorists from Philadelphia and South Jersey can use either Roosevelt boulevard and Lincoln highway through Trenton, Princeton, New Brunswick to Metuchen and thence to Plainfield, or over the bridge to Camden, through Mt. Holly or Burlington, Bordentown, the Cranbury pike to New Brunswick and thence as above.
TIGER FLOWERS TO FIGHT ROSENBLOOM

Considerable speculation as to the outcome of this bout is being made. It is said that Rosenbloom is expected to put up a strong battle against Flowers.

BACHARACHS VS. BUSHWICKS
BACHARACHS VS. BUSHWICKS
Farrell a Mystery to White Ball Players Last Sunday
If there's anything more depressing than Blue Monday it is Wet Sunday. The Bushwicks, rather than turn away the surprisingly large turnout of faithful at Dexter Park on Sunday, battled their way through one game of a scheduled double-header with the Bacharach Giants, of Atlantic City, champions of the Eastern Mutual Colored League, and all they received for self-paints was a 5 to 3 defeat by the Force. The Bushwicks start ed of impressively and lead to a commanding lead in the first inning, thanks partly to the unsteady southpaw offerings of Luther Farrell. Three hits and three bases on balls in this frame produced all of the Bushwick's three runs. After the first inning Farrell was invincible, his slight hurting greatly encouraging his teammates in their successful uphill fight.
The Kandy Kids got only one hit in the next eight innings and four of them managed to reach first base, but with runners on the bases Farrell was a mystery altogether too baffling for the Bushwicks bats. The Kandy Kids succeeded in hitting only two balls past the infield after their opening spree.
Not Alone In Stardom.
But despite his splendid work Farrell did not stand out alone, for he was given splendid support. Dick Lundy at short had an error on a poor throw, but this misuse was forgotten in the help he gave his southpaw. Lundy figured in two of the three Racharach double plays and had seven pitouts and seven assists. He was particularly brilliant in the fifth inning, when he had three assists. He threw out a runner from a difficult position in deep short and came in fast for a weak bounder that threatened to result in a hit. His other chance of the inning was just an ordinary play. Lundy also figured in the final play of the contest. With Irving on first as the result of a walk, Lundy grabbed Hockenbury's grounder, dashed over to second for a force and then threw out the runner.
Stanley Baumgartner, Bushwick southpaw, helped toss away his own game. It was a bad throw by Baumgartner that helped the Bacharachs to their winning tally. The score was tied 3 to 3 when the Bacharachs went to bat in the sixth. Smith, the first batter, singled to right. Marcell bunted, Baumgartner fielded the ball and threw high to Peploski, who covered first. The ball went into right Smith reached third and Marcell and Lewis hit to Lal, and when the third down was weakly to the plate Smith safe. Duncan singled to center and Marcell scored. Although there were two on base and none out, Baumgartner got away without any runs being scored. Farrell forced Duncan and Hubbard and Dallott were retired on strikes.
Bacharachs Score In Third.
The Bacharachs got their first run in the third on Lewis' double, Farrell's single and Hubbard's fly to Carter. The two Bacharach runs in fifth were earned. Lewis singled to right, and, after Duncan fled to Carter Farrell singled to left. Hubbard was hit, filling the bases. Dallott was the second out on an infidel pop, but Baumgartner could not dispose of White. He singled to right and Lewis and Farrell scored. Lundy filed to center for the third out, and opened the game for the Bushwick with a single to center and Barnes with a backupski-scuffed and Dean double in Barnes scoring. Carter singled, Dean tallying. The Bushwicks did not get another hit until Gerner bounced a single over second in the eighth frame. The score:

Alhambra Has Auspicious Opening With Presentation of New Show
Although the Pollock Productions, Inc. at the Albambra Theatre, did not play to capacity houses last week, the managers are not discouraged. To the contrary, they are elated over the fact that it is evident that the best element of Harlem intends to patronize the theatre. During the week there were people present who heretofore have spent their theatre money exclusively on Broadway. And, if you can please the best you can satisfy all.
This week "How've You Been" featuring the famous comedian, Sidney Easton, is offered for your approval. Mr. Leigh Whipper, one of our ablest showmen, is a member of the cast and stage manager. With him are associated Donald Heywood, who has contributed some excellent songs and arrangements, and George Stampen, who has turned out a fast dancing chorus. The entire production is under the personal supervision of Ernest Pollock. Broadway producer "How've You Been" aims to please and doesn't miss the
Next week "Tum O'Shanter" comes with a new cast, new songs and new dances, but with the same old intention to give the best entertainment the most funnelful melodies, the most fascinating steps and the clever lines. And the staff, to be outdone, will be on hand to the same courteous treat, intelligent service and desire make you welcome and happy, the Alambra habit. Choose your favorite night and favorite day and be there each week, during the whole family. Continue performance from 1 to 11. You make it early or late and at night on Fridays.

Miss Baker Did Put One Over
And Now Harlem 'Society'
Has Been Thrown into
an Uproar
PARIS, June 20.—The Associated
Press brings the information to
this country that Josephine Baker
of Harlem, whose vivacious version
of the Black Bottom won acclaim
and fortune here, has become
America's first colored Countess.
To the aristocracy of Harlem, Josephine will add her Count when she returns from foreign travel.
Josephine married Count Peplo to di Albertini, she announced last night, the marriage took place on June 3. Josephine's twenty-first birthday, the dancer said. Perhaps recalling the noblemen who from time to time have been revealed as impostors in the United States, Josephine made sure of her husband's lineage.
"He sure is a count." Josephine said in announcing her marriage.
"I looked him up in Rome. He's not a great big family there with lots of coats-of-arms and everything."
The marriage came as a climax to the spectacular career of the girl, who arrived here two years ago to star in the first colored review produced in Paris. Josephine became the star of the Follies Berges, where her eccentric habit of dispensing with almost all clothing rapidly made her famous among the patrons of that show place.
Now, Josephine dances at the
Acmelas in the afternoon, at the
Follies at night and in her own
Montmartre cabaret in the early
morning.
"Damon and Pythias" at Renaissance Casino July 1
Amateurs to Present Dramatic Play Under Direction of Messrs. Greene and Simmons
Up at the Renaissance Casino on the night of July 1 the drama, which long ago heard the call of the better element in the community, will again make a bid for support via the presentation by amateurs.
As we look back over those days when dramatic offerings in churches and halls were given because of lack of theatres, we can remember many of those presentations which found ready and hearty response at the hands of those gathered to witness what amateurs had to offer.
And even in this day and time when the majority of us have been made "hard boiled" by witnessing the best as offered by the professional stage, we have from time to time found amateur presentations which were worth while.
Messrs. J. H. Groone and D. W. Simmons on the above mentioned date will bring an array of amateurs to appear in "Damon and Pythias," and from what we can learn, the people in the play have studied carefully and conscientiously to make this offering one of the season's biggest successes.

Strong Drama at the New Lincoln Theatre
New Paramount Production Based on De Mille Play Is "The Telephone Girl"
When the destinies of three men, two women, great political parties and a whole state hang on the shoulders of one beautiful young girl there's sure to be plenty of strong drama. And those who see "The Telephone Girl" at the Lincoln Theatre the latter part of this week will get just that—strong drama.
Herbert Breon's new Paramount production, based on the William C. De Mille play, "The Woman," relates the saga of Kitty O'Denn, telephone girl in the hotel where Matthew Standish, candidate for Governor, is being dined on election eve. Kitty has her own troubles without becoming involved in politics. Tom Blake, son of "Boss" Jim Blake, is unable to marry her because of his father's opposition.
All things would seem to indicate a Standish landslide at the polls and Governor Mark Robinson sees his chances of re-election vanishing in thin air. Suddenly detectives who have investigated Standish's past life tell the "Boss." Robinson's father-in-law, of a certain unsavvy episode which, with some added information, will ruin the Standish reform platform. Van Dyke, owner of a powerful paper, promises the use of his presses if the story be completed in time.
What information is missing?
How can it possibly affect election results? Why should Kitty become mixed up in these affairs?
Mudge Bellany, heroin of "Bertha the Sewing Machine Girl" enacts the title role. Holbrook Blinn, distinguished stage thespian, is "Boss" Jim Blake. Warner Baxter, featured player in "The Great Gatsby" portrays Standish. May Allison, making her return to Famous Players after a number of years, is "the woman." Lawrence Gray, the snappy hat salesman of "Love 'em and Leave 'em," has an interesting role as Blake's son.

SOVINA TAKES OVER RHONE'S
Cabaret, Once Run by Well Known Musician, a Thing of the Past
Louis Sovina, the man who had a hand in the building of the Roosevelt and Douglas Theatres, and who has been operating successfully in the community for many years, has taken over the place once occupied by Happy Rhone and run as a cabaret. With the passing of Happy Rhone from the spot. Mr. Sovina has announced that in future the former night resort will be rented out to clubs, societies, theatrical and other companies for rehearsals, etc., and at a most reasonable figure.
Sovina is well known here and again we take pleasure in reminding our readers that his coming here to operate theatres catering to Negroes brought a man who readily sympathized with Negro institutions in the community. The newspapers combined in lending their aid to the Sovina activities without stint and up to this day not one line in adverse comment has been written about him.
There are many organizations in the community that will find in for former Happy Rhone Cabaret a place to meet their requirements. Mr. Sovina will personally superintend the management of the hall.

No, Sir, They All

As You Will See by "Matinee Ladies," Which Comes to the Roosevelt
Of course, it must never be thought that all the girls who seek innocent diversion fall by the wayside. Take the heroine of "Matinee Ladies" played so charmingly by May McAvoy, and which comes to the Roosevelt Theatre this week, as a case in point. In this picture Miss McAvoy enacts the role of the cigarette girl in a rendezvous for gay parties. Here is a case where uprightness of character furnishes the strength to make sin repulsive. There is one fine thing about "Matinee Ladies" and that is in picturing all the evils of the dance hall, the road house and the cabaret—with all its tense drama—it holds up honor and virtue as among the most priceless possessions of true womanhood.
In representing this picture Warner Brothers have made an important contribution to the screen that is certain to be appreciated by the great mass of movie fans throughout the country. They have surrounded Miss McAvoy with a fine cast and in Malcolm McGregor given the film a leading man whose work is replete with sincerity and charm.
Graham Baker adapted the story of "Matinee Ladies" for the screen and in direction it is palpable that Byron Haskins, who had it in charge, was fully competent to handle it with a full understanding of the subject.

In the older fields of adven-

romantic ‘place. The hixtory of
American exploration could not
be written without mentioning
him. The late Professor Alex:

on “The Contribution of the
Negro to Human Civilization”
suys:
“And in their voyages and
travels the Spaniards in the New
World had the services of the

Bilac. He was born at Rio de

studied medicine at Rio aud then
jaw at Sao Paulo. Truely, Bilac
was a BraziMlan among Brazil-
lans. The sweetness and grace
of his poetry as well as bis power
and great imagination brought
him the sobrique:: Prince of
Brazilian poets,
Bilac’s object as a poe was to
polish the language of his people
by giving to it dignity and fiex!-

There he is the poet lover of

to think with Senor Morales that
it was the beauty of his style und
the varlous passlonate Sights of

the fame that Was fer many
years his.
One writer called him “the
nightingale that all lovers knew

ther to say he was “the poet of
a maiden's heart.”
Bilac's poems are fresh. And
the fountain from which they
spring was always his heart.
When pos3fonate. he was seldom-
dy ever restraintful. love was
always for bim the birthplace of
hix finer poems. In “"Beijo
Eterno” we find him in uue of his
most passionate moods. Of his
lover he says:
J want an endless kiss

And soothe my desire!
My blood seethes,
Slake it with your kis,

JAMAICA WOMAN
FALLS FROM TROLLEY
Mrs. Lucy Johnson, 30, of 110-03
159th street, Jamaica, fell from a trotley car of the Jamaican Central Railway Company last Thursday,
at Jamaica avenue and 159th street,
and suffered lacerations of the
head and general contusions of the
body. The car was in charge of
Motorman Stephen Senseel, of 102-26
153th street. Richmond Hill. She
was attended and went home.
His shouts to halt were ignored by the training woman and McCarthy drew his service revolver and fired a shot. He had aimed low, nearly in an attempt to frighten the survivor, but she collapsed to the walk wounded.
The patrolmen attracted by sound of the revolver shot, arrested at the scene and held a man of colored people back while ambulance was called by McCarthy. The officer who responded to the sound that Mrs. Kennedy was densely wounded, but that she was unable to appear in court for some time so she was taken to the hospital where she was placed in ward. McCarthy is 27 years old, married and lives at 4366 Atlantic avenue. He was appointed to the Po Department February 15 of the year.
W. McCarthy fired the shot at the woman could not be deterred by the police. The young man is of athletic build and supposedly fleet of foot. An investigation was immediately started into the shooting by the patrol officers.
AND THIS IS HOW IT WAS TONED DOWN.
Placing not guilty to charges of possession of narcotics, Jess Givens and George Lewis, both of 74th street, Jamaica, were held on bail for a hearing tomorrow when arraigned before Martis Miller Saturday in the Jamaica Court.
Milton and Lewis were arrested by Capt. McQueeney, Lieut. Devin and Detective Sabatino of the Humala Squad, following the arrest of Patricianman Stephen McCarrion of the Jamaica Precinct on charge of felonious assault. The case was released on $2,000 ball Sunday by Magistrate Miller. According to the police, McCarrion went to the Church street address early Friday and attempted to arrest Mrs. Catherine Kennedy of St Mark's avenue and the coached men on a charge of homicide conduct. When police investigated they learned that the man attempted to run away. McCarrion fired two bullets, one of which struck Mrs. Kennedy.
Mrs. Kennedy was rushed to Jail a Hospital suffering from the strain in her right thigh. Patrol Chief Metarthy will be given a chance to growl to tell why he shot the shots, but Mrs. Kennedy will not be able to answer a charge of disorderly conduct for some time.

Glen Cove Man Said to Be Victim of Liquor

Hence we, as Negroes, should seek to make a just and fair evaluation of ourselves and learn more of ourselves. The high-

The Rev, Mr. Fairley, white, pastor of the Unitarian Church of Flushing, during the course of his talk, said: "After hearing Dr Johnson's wonderful talk it makes me feel ashamed of the white man in America who, because of numbers, is apparently taking advantage of his colored brother, but there is one consolation, and that is this—just as I love you and care for you there are many other white men and women who do the same." He also took occasion to say that the American Negro has given more real evidence of having a Christian religion than his white brother.
Dr. Willford I. King, white, the economist, and head of the National Bureau of Economic Research, also spoke.

Philanthropy and Schools
"TODAY," said John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in the course of his address at the commencement luncheon of Brown University recently, "the majority of students go to college for a good time, for social considerations or to fit themselves to earn money. The idea of service to the community is no longer the chief consideration. It would seem, therefore, that under these changed conditions the student might properly be expected to pay for the benefits he receives."
THIS STATEMENT, coming as it does from one of the richest men in the world, a man who has donated millions of dollars to educational institutions in all lands, is of vast significance. And yet, what Mr. Rockefeller says is all too true of students in general, though not wholly true of the Negro student, who, while taking his educational cue from the white student, may not hardly be said to have enjoyed or to enjoy today the same educational opportunities as white students.
THEREFORE, such a revolutionary program, if once put into effect, would prove decidedly harmful to the Negro student, at least, during its initial stages. He would find himself confronted with higher tuition fees, with less money with which to pay them; he would find it more difficult to secure the student loans Mr. Rockefeller recommended as a help to the poor, though deserving, students and less able through the denial of equal opportunity to repay the loan—if he were successful in securing one—after he had completed his education and started on his life work.
AND YET, the effect need not always be unwholesome. Too many Negroes go to college nowadays without once stopping to ask who must pay the immediate bills for their education. If the student doesn't pay them himself in dollars and cents, the least that he can do is to repay them in service to his own race and to humanity. Somebody must pay, and where the student himself is the one most directly benefited, says Mr. Rockefeller, he should pay.
NOT ALONE in education, but in all other matters touching his life, the Negro is not worrying about who pays the bills. He wants Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations, he wants theatres, he wants to progress in literature and art, he wants to make economic progress, he wants all the luxuries of life; in short, he wants everything that everybody else wants without paying an equal or proportionate price for it. HOW LUDICROUS it must have appeared that all of Fisk University's graduates found it such a difficult

EDITORIAL PAGE
problem to raise one hundred thousand dollars, when it is considered that the white race had created an endowment fund of one million dollars, and the one hundred thousand dollars was to secure the benefit of the one million dollars.
THE NEGRO, like all other peoples, needs education; he needs almost everything anyone else needs, and more; but, more than anything else, he needs to realize that he can't get something for nothing, and that he is only kidding himself when he thinks he can get something for nothing.
MR. ROCKEFELLER would except only teaching students and students for the ministry, but what he says of students in general applies in too many instances to these two professions also and without regard to either race or creed. Commercialism is creeping into both the schoolroom and the pulpit, and many pursue these vocations solely for what they get out of them, and not because they are imbued with a desire to serve.
THE STUDENT who realizes that he must pay in some way for his education should make a better student and a better man or woman, and while Mr. Rockefeller's proposal may be revolutionary, it may yet give to the world a more dependable citizen.
J. Finley Wilson's Proclamation
IT IS ENTIRELY too early to foresee the effect Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson's Proclamation, changing the place of the Grand Lodge Session of the Improved, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, will have on the future of that order. Coming at a date — with the convention but two short weeks away — the whole situation seems most unfortunate. The Proclamation gives complete authenticity to reports first published three months ago in The Amsterdam News that New York City might lose the convention — reports which at the time were branded as "premature and inaccurate" by the Grand Exalted Rule himself, and as "a damaging press card" by one of our contemporaries.
Much as we dislike seeing New York City lose the convention; much as we sympathize with the local lodges of the order; much as we suspicion the personal and other motives behind the change — inexcusable in view of the fact that officials of the order should have warned the delegates against the selection of New York City last August — we trust that a split of the order will not be the only thing to give relief from the throes in which it now finds itself.
TO SAVE the order from disruption of sacrifice must be made — some way somewhere, somehow, by some one or by many. After all, life is short; time is fleeting, and the future of the whole order should be of greater importance than the success of any one individual.

To the union, it should have been more important to have offered these skilled Negro artisans a full-size union card, along with full-size privileges, than to worry about hurting someone's feelings by taking the colored "boys" in. This might, in days gone by, have eliminated what was once Wardman competition, which is now Wardman success. However, that was then—for Wardman and his colored men are now laying bricks—they are not attending labor meetings. A stitch in time saves nine.
WHILE the white folks are prating about the large number of Negro criminals who are haled before the bar of justice to answer every type of charge from disorderly conduct to manslaughter, it might be a profitable pastime for us to note the few times we hate ourselves be

EXPRESSED BY OUR CONTEMPORARIES
Near Toccon, Ga., a few days ago a woman was seized by masked men, stretched out on the ground and given eighty-two lashes with a heavy piece of leather. And this brings to mind something that is commonly overlooked when kukluckery is the subject of discussion: that floggings are inflicted on women almost as often as they are inflicted on men. Is that fact of any significance? It would surely seem so.

We do not find fault with the night riders of reconstruction days; things were desperate then and something had to be done to restore some blameless of sanity. But did the Ku Klux Klan of post-bellum days stretch women out on the ground, even Negro women, and give them eighty-two lashes with a heavy piece of leather? If so, one recalls no mention of the fact. For these men were gentlemen; they not only accepted the basic assumptions of chivalry but also its higher implications; they knew that women cannot

flood journalist on the staff
of the New York World, has just

which we are much indebted for its continued fairness toward our

Munchaeusenism and prattle.
For instance, Mr. Dickson writes:
"Look yonder, boy," one of the recorders said to a young Negro, who had been wading in water for three days.
"Look yonder! What are you going to do when you get on top of that hill?"
"Who? Me? Well, suh. I satutly aims to kick off dese wet shoes and prance around wid bure foots in de dust."
Again, Mr. Dickson writes:
"Two Negro preachers start a revival on a barge. Together the pair makes one complete preacher, because the yellow one can read, but has no fluency, while the black one is a natural orator, who doesn't know 'b' from a hill's foot.
"Brundder," the filibiterate one asks, "please give out my text." And so on, Mr. Dickson, whose flood press effort is about as valuable in America as a Russian koneck coined by the Soviet Government, essays to describe the Mississippi calamity under the guises of "Heroism" with the comic savvity not unlike that which abounds in the Pickwick Papers.
It could have been a splendid constructive effort had Mr. Dickson stopped to think that comedy and tragedy never appear together on the same stage.
Some time, perhaps, white journalists will realize that Negroes have reached the stage where they rightly resent "end men" stuff in printers' ink. Times are too serious nowadays to spoil a gallery of press make-up" with insinently stated news.
In the meantime, we hope that our good friend, Lester A. Walton, of the World staff, will take Mr. Dickson to school with him, so that he may absorb an aprio-

Ah! Open Shop!
DOWN in the national capital there holds forth the Wardman Construction Company, Inc., headed by Harry Wardman (white), contractor for, and builder of, gigantic projects, such as apartment houses, inns, and hotels, for occupancy by white residents of means and influence.
Wardman, with a small cash balance on hand, some years ago, after he had completed his first project, faced his "closed shop" competitors with confidence, for he knew that his idea was sound.
Ah, but you are asking what has this to do with the "open shop," which is otherwise known as the labor harlot in circles of Union Labor. Just this: Look upon any of the Wardman projects any day in Washington, D. C.—and there are many to view during these rare June days—and you will see, not a union label, to be sure. but you will see dozens of Negro mechanics, masons, bricklayers, plasterers, carpenters, and other building tradesmen, whose dusky hands shall have laid the foundation and placed the walls in dull space. into which, after the job is done, they will not dare enter. On Wardman projects they draw good pay, easy hours, PERMANENT EMPLOYMENT, and enjoy a prestige which makes Wardman projects outstanding in the national capital.
After all, when the work is over, who cares whether black or white hands laid each brick or set each foot of tiling. Color is only an imaginary cloud, as is evidenced by the application for space in Wardman buildings.
To the Negro building tradesmen, it is more important to erect a building than to worry about living in it after completion.
To Wardman, it is more important to have the job well done than to worry about who is going to do it, white, black, union or non-union labor.
be revered in one moment and flogged in the next. Thus they lived up to their code, and thus they commanded our respect.
But the modern "knight" of the Ku Klux Klan? Let us have done with this nonsense about his high ideals. Let us have done with this pretense. put forward by himself but accepted by many who wish to think well of him, that even when he is lawless he is actuated by a sincere desire to "protect" womanhood. How can a man who makes such pretenses stretch a woman, any woman, out on the ground and give her eighty-two lashes? We may as well face the fact that his high words are false; that he flogs because he gets a sadistic pleasure out of flogging, a pleasure not the less keen because he indulges it with solemn face; that he flogs a woman because it heightens his pleasure to strip her naked and hear her scream. "If any member of the Ku Klux Klan took part in the Toroco flogging," says the Grand Dragon of Georgia, "the Klan will do its utmost to send him to the State Penitentiary." Bravo! Will the Grand Dragon now take the floor and prove that the Ku Klux Klan, by its conduct in the last few years, and whether its members are guilty this time or not, did not furnish the example for the Toroco flogging."
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Lindbergh and the Negro Problem
To the Editor of The Amsterdam News:
I read with intense interest the timely and exhaustive article—"Lindbergh and the Negro Problem"—by Spilb Bryant Foston, in your last issue. I hope every Negro who reads The Amsterdam News read it. Although I am no critic in journalism, I consider Mrs. Poston's work a masterpiece. "Lindbergh and the Negro Problem" should grip the Negro public as the the Sun's editorial "Lindbergh Flies Alone" has the general public. It is as thoughtful.
Mrs. Poston certainly did hit the nail on the head when she wrote this article, for no people is as badly in need of "The Spirit of Lindbergh" as the Negro. If anything will, this article should, and will, inculcate into the young Negro that he, too, can "go it alone." though the task be ever so difficult.
Of the many things that may be gained from the life of the renowned Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, nothing is more inspiring than the last quality which the writer singled out, "his ability to do the difficult task alone."
I understand that a great demand is being made for Mr. Anderson's (the writer of the Sun editorial) "Lindbergh Files Alone." I hope this demand will be duplicated by our group for "Lindbergh and the Negro Problem."

LETTERS
fore the judge in an attempt to strengthen our standing under State and Federal Constitutions, as well as municipal ordinances, which are, at times, aimed to keep the lid tightly upon us. When Charles Sumner, courageous senator from Massachusetts, pleaded for equality under the public school laws of the Bay State for the little black girl, who had been denied a public school education; when the preliminary cases under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments were tried; when the Levy act of New York State was first tested to insure equality in public places—all these were stirring legal melodramas to raise our struggling group to a higher legal level under the privileges of citizenship.
Despite the few outstanding cases which have been decided during the past quarter century, and the few which are now pounding, there has been a hull in the legal advocacy of our rights as citizens.
The Jim Crow laws could be given tests much severer than those which they have met thus far: separate school laws might be put through the legal strainer much more vigorously then ever before.
It is even time to try again matters of public rights, as contemplated under the Civil Rights bills, the adverse decision in which was vehemently dissented to by the late Mr. Justice Harlan
We have much to do besides DEFENDING ourselves in suits, and engaging in bursts of oratory as to what might and ought to be. We have the chance frequently to become the aggressors where legal rights are ground to pieces by the heel of despotism. It is time that we, rather than the other fellow, should first say: "Good Morning, Judge!"
Mortality
"MORTALITY Statistics-1924." just off the press of the United States Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. should be carefully studied by every thoughtful Negro in America; and by those people, who economically and socially—consciously or otherwise—exert any influence over Negro life, the volume should be made the subject of a lecture. "Here is an excerpt from the mournful story which "Mortality Statistics" tells:
"The deaths of Negroes in the registration States in 1924 numbered 147,522, with a rate of 17.6 per 1,000 estimated population as AGAINST 17 in 1923. The rates were HIGHER in 1924 than in 1923 for 21 of the 28 states which showed rates for the two years. In the ten states shown by color, the rates for colored were higher than for white; while Kentucky had a rate of 20.1 for colored against 9.9 for white."
In other words, in one year we gained an impetus of six-tenths of one per cent in leaving this world behind, while the white folks showed a considerably

HE DID not mean to do that, of course. He simply sent the National Government a telegram, "as Governor of Mississippi," protesting against the appointment of one Negro doctor on the Flood Rehabilitation Committee, although Negroes make up 85 per cent of those to be "rehabilitated."
That one brief telegram from the Governor of Mississippi exposes the South's unfitness to be "let alone" in its dealing with the Negro better than any Northern or Negro "radical" could ever have exposed it in a volume on the subject.
This attitude of Governor Dennis Murphree (we do not know where he got his name, but he certainly knows how to expose the weakness of his position) exemplifies the best reason why intelligent Negroes should be placed on all the commissions that are to handle this flood situation and the rehabilitation.
The best meanings of a foolish man's words are not drawn from their syntactical construction, but from their other implications.
Think it over: Negroes will do about all the hard, forced, conscripted labor of this rehabilitation; they must slave and sicken and die at it; they constitute 85 per cent of the sufferers and doubtless 99 per cent of the suffering — and yet no colored man or colored physician must have any hand in the matter or any influence on their treatment. They must be left to the mercy of such degenerate attitudes as that shown by this Governor. We did our best to bring this situation to the attention of President Coolidge, Secretary Hoover and the Red Cross even before it happened, by our ordinary reasoning and common sense, but for having made the situation so clear that even a wayfaring fool could understand it, commend us to Dennis Murphree, "Governor of Mississippi."
Will the National Government back down before such barbarous attitudes? Dr. S. D. Redmond of Jackson, whom the Administration was appointing on this commission, is as competent as any white physician of Mississippi, and is better known than any of them and will doubtless be much fairer on all questions affecting the white sufferers than any of those other physicians will be on questions affecting the black.
greater tendency than before in clinging to the lucure and fame of America. (If this increase continues, scientists need not stay awake figuring out the number of years required for a completed amalgamation of this dark tenth of America—because we'll all be dead.)
Just why we are so prone to blazing a hasty trail to the pearly gates, when we've so much to do here for our children and our grandchildren, in the face of withering competition, is a question which our welfare experts and organizations need well to ponder over.
We'll be glad when Charlie Hall and his Elks Mortality Commission shall have made their official report. And in the meantime we would like to see our medical representatives add to their professional and ethical pledges the resolution to exercise a greater national concern over the preservation of Negro life and health.

SO THE law's agents left you to the throng;
You, whom the court found innocent of wrong;

Who shot at you like bullies from the back.

Poor human blunderers who have tonight
